Not my cup of tea

So, though there is charm and wit, it wasn’t enough to save the book. I thought it would be more entertaining but sadly the event that took place weren’t fun. The characters can be funny at times and there some good messages at the end but I just didn’t enjoy the journey.

An end of the world satire

I don’t recall how I stumbled upon this book. But I am glad I did. The narration is wonderful. The story is witty, if driven by moral imperatives (that I happen to share, but which may be overwhelming for Aryans or anti-islamists or anti-environmentalists or … you get the idea.) This story blatantly makes fun of those whose close-minded views have contributed to the war-mongering and terrorism that have plagued humanity since the dawn of time. Yet it’s still funny. And the characters are still endearing, if dark.
I chose this book as a respite from the heavy epic fantasy fare I’d been reading and it lived up to that purpose without sacrificing story or quality of writing (or narration!) It is tongue in cheek, self aware and funny - albeit a bit on the nose. So much so that some monologues from the characters were embarrassing to listen to, lest they be overheard.
Fans of Terry Pratchett and others of his satirical activist ilk are most likely to enjoy this novel. Just don’t expect Pratchett’s subtlety. This book is not hiding the ball at all.
